Homa Bay Governor Gladys Wanga has removed her deputy, Oyugi Magwanga, from his cabinet portfolio as the County Executive Committee (CEC) Member for Agriculture, widening a political rift. This decision follows Magwanga's support for an independent candidate in the recent Kasipul constituency by-election, defying Wanga's ODM party. He now remains as Deputy Governor without an assigned docket.

• Gladys Wanga stripped her deputy, Oyugi Magwanga, of his Agriculture cabinet role.
• The fallout intensified after the Kasipul by-election, where Magwanga supported an independent candidate against Wanga's ODM party's Boyd Were.
• Wanga also dismissed Dr. Peter Ogolla, CEC for Lands, and nominated Joseph Mitito, for vetting.
